Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Switch) announced; coming Nov 16th 2018
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
No, you won't be able to evolve the Pikachu or Eevee you start with. They're your "partner" pokemon. Other Pikachu or Eevee you catch will be able to evolve, however
You haven't had a very eventful life then...
But seriously... They've also confirmed that this isn't the only Pokémon game coming. We're getting another new game next year that's closer to the handheld games. Strangely, GF wanted to beat us over the head by saying that the 2019 title focuses more on "handheld" elements. Not quite sure how to take that.
GO has IVs, so there's no reason to assume this at all.
I think they wanted to make sure that everyone understood that this isn't the direction the series as a whole is going. But you know the internet.
I'm sure everyone is wondering the biggest question from this game
Where will we catch Moltres. Moltres has never been in the same spot twice, not even in remakes.

I have not played pokemon since gen 3. but the way I did it back then was, i got yellowversion, then i got silver and crystal, for some reason and then i got ruby sapphire and emerald all when they launched.
Something makes me want to get both, but if there are barely any differences between them. I will get one
I mean, we know almost nothing about these games so far. Only that it seems to be a reimagining of Yellow with GO capture mechanics. That's it. Everything we know is in the OP of this thread and it's not a lot.
I think I found something juicy.
In the Q&A they stated:
"The controls for catching Pokemon in handheld mode will have you moving the console around and pressing a button to throw; no touch screen, and the gyro part is required."
Which I really don't like, but nevermind that.
If you look at the trailer at 2:16 the first shot after the white screen with all the different device combinations. You will see some kiddo playing in handheld mode catching a pokemon.
You can clearly see that he is yet to throw a pokeball, after which I think you can see him press a abxy button with his right thumb and then a pokeball gets thrown.
Which would mean: no forced motion controls when catching a pokemon!

They stated that the 2019 is the Switch game mentioned last E3. It's not a 3DS game.
Yes, the "core pokemon game for Switch" will be 3DS exclusive. They just worded it weird.
Also holy shit, this is probably the worst box art I have ever seen.
It looks like someone just took the Windows XP default background, photoshopped a Pikachu and Eevee and a pokeball and called it a day.
Like, wow...
If I end up back in on this, buying digital for sure.
Probably just means more traditional, and using motion controls.
You mean the game they said last year was being developed for the Switch will release on 3DS? That will be the truly shocking news.
it's just a trailer though. Often times in trailers, people play a blank switch and the video editor superimposes the gameplay afterwards
I think it looks really cute. I want the Eevee one, but Yellow was my first video game ever, so I'll probably grab Pikachu.

I HOPE THEY DO COLORED CARTRIDGES!
the people like me that have not played pokemon in over 15 years are happy. i feel like this game is for ppl like me
Of course I mean when it comes to gaming. This might actually be a game that I don't even want to exist, but I'll give them a chance.
Yeah I think that's most likely the case. I'm very curious how the Pokemon obtained in Go will transfer over to these games. I've pumped up quite a team with star dust so their cp is as high as possible. But will that even translate? Time will tell.
So they wind up doing what they did when people bring Pokemon over from prior gens after the physical/special split happened and the special stat was changed to SpA and SpD: they just add an extra stat and randomize the IVs. It's not like there's no precedent for them handling this sort of thing.
There's probably a CP to lvl equivalence baked into the game. So if a Pokemon is a xCP then it has xlvl. We can already kinda see it in that screen showing off catching Clefairy.

I think they always just push random buttons cause the screen is pasted in afterwards in editing (for brightness reasons and such)
I would be kinda salty if they only did like "oh 5 pokemon are unique to one version over the other"
similar to how i think ninetails was only in one version and scyther was in another? i think. I want to be able to get all of the ones I want in the game.
Honestly, I have fallen off Pokemon around Black and White 2 and didn't even bother to get ORAS despite gen 3 being my favorite....
but I feel like every pokemon game post the DS era has been for "people who have nostalgia for pokemon" and haven't played in years.

NVM I can't read, gyro required sounds incredibly awful. The fuck.
Ye, last Pokémon I played was Sapphire, almost exactly 15 years ago. This feels like a great way to get back into the series before going in deeper with next year's game.
If they cut the Sevii islands it will probably moved back in victory road.
That's usually the only main difference between the two games.
Yeah... I don't get why they are floating above realistic grass... They should have just been standing in it.

I'm talking about nuzlocke because that's what was referenced in the first place. Jesus christ.

Wait for the Switch Icon, if it's the same level as this, neiteio is going to have a field day.
Well, the biggest disappointment of your (gaming) life might have a (first) second chance.
Nobody can say your are a merciless person.
i guess it makes sense, i just have not been able to buy the systems after N64, ... anything from GC to wii to ds or any handheld after ADVANCED / SP / the gameboy color i was not able to get.
Now I am on board. But i can see how a lot of pokemon games recently could satisfy the nostalgic itch .. I am finally ready though to get back in after gens 1-3 in games and pokemon anime
Nah. Frankly the only thing I think this game seems to do straight up better than the previous ones is the boxart here. Legendary On a Photoshop Gradient has always been wack.

Why would they remove them? They're largely hidden stats already. They just will continue not showing them

Its almost certain those Switch are actually off and they are not playing the game while recording.

I actually like the boxart but I also LOVE this.
Yeah I feel like this is literally our moment to jump in.
Kinda right where we left off back then but with new.
I am ready for the visual differences too. Crystal and Emerald were my favorite.

Counter-point: All Pokémon games have bad box art.
High rez boxart for people who want it
